No turn signals...running out of ideas.

I just noticed the other day that i dont have any turn signals on the car out of the blue. The hazzards still work however like normal. I pulled the turn signal relay (flasher?) and replaced it with no success. I also checked the fuse and it was good. Whats my next move?

Turn & Learn

Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.

Using a test light
(the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the purple wire going to the steering column connector.

It’s the larger of the connectors located on the right side of the steering column.

If there’s power there, turn the blinker to the left position, then probe the
LIGHT blue wire at the same connector.

Is there power there?


Happy Racing!

Re: Turn & Learn

I fixed it!! Turns out the Haynes manual is lacking a bit in where the actual flasher is located. I thought i replaced it but instead i replace a relay right next to the hazzard flasher. I found the turn light flasher stuffed up above the convenience center and under the tach. It wasnt even c-clipped in like everyone on this board was saying. At any rate its all set now! Thanks for the help though.

Re: Turn & Learn

Here is a picture i grabbed off the net of what it looks like.



Mine was right above the convenience center in the car. I had to drop it down and feel around up there until i found it. It wasnt mounted to anything so i just yanked it down, unplugged it and plugged the new one in and problem was solved.
